HI YOU. I'm glad you're alive.

Ballack is apparently doing commentary for ESPN now so all my streams at work have him and Alexi Lalas calsdfksjdf I don't know how to feel about that. Sometimes he trolls Lalas, though, which is pretty great. As is hearing him grudgingly compliment the German side sans him...

Spain is Villa-less! They drew their first game against Italy, beat Ireland soundly (2 Nando goals of 4 total), and were pretty wretched against Croatia, honestly. Or maybe just boring. I was at work. I swear the Jesus Navas goal was more luck than anything else. Or maybe God just really loves him.

Anyway, Jaz probably has better commentary re the actual techniques and strategies but all I got from watching it while doing work is - Germany plays way more interesting/watchable football, imo. Spain continues to play a passing game, with something ridiculous like >1500 connected passes in the group stage. Lots of possession too. But finding it difficult to, idk, consistently mount forward pressure and attack?

England hasn't failed out so far and seem to have scored most of their goals/get most of their chances from set pieces. :/
